Configuring a Dedicated Offsite Copy task
You can assign a computer the task of copying recovery point sets from a recovery point destination to a dedicated Offsite Copy location. Configuring such a task is very efficient and powerful. Unlike specifying an Offsite Copy destination within a backup policy that may go to many computers, you use the system resources of one dedicated computer. That one dedicated computer processes an entire Offsite Copy task.
